The present disclosure provides a battery cell, a battery module, a battery pack, a device using the battery cell as a power supply, and a method for assembling the battery cell to alleviate the problem of impurities falling into an electrode assembly.

As shown in FIG. 1 , in some embodiments, a battery cell is provided. The battery cell includes a housing 1, an electrode assembly 2, a cover plate assembly 3, a connecting sheet 4, an insulating pallet 5, and an insulation member 6.

The housing 1 is formed with a cavity 11, and the housing 1 has an open end. The electrode assembly 2 is disposed within the cavity 11. The cover plate assembly 3 is located at the open end of the housing 1 and covers the electrode assembly 2, so as to enclose the electrode assembly 2 within the housing 1. The connecting sheet 4 is disposed between the cover plate assembly 3 and the electrode assembly 2 and configured to direct the electricity produced by the electrode assembly 2 to the cover plate assembly 3. Some parts of the insulating pallet 5 are disposed between the cover plate assembly 3 and the electrode assembly 2, while other parts of the insulating pallet 5 are disposed between the connecting sheet 4 and the electrode assembly 2. The insulation member 6 is disposed between the insulating pallet 5 and the connecting sheet 4.

The electrode assembly 2 includes a tab 21 and a cell body 22, wherein the tab 21 is connected to the cell body 22.

The cell body 22 includes a positive pole piece, a negative pole piece, and a diaphragm. Both the positive pole piece and the negative pole piece include an application area. The active substance of the positive pole is applied to the application area of the positive pole piece, and the active substance of the negative pole is applied to the application area of the negative pole piece. The diaphragm is an insulator disposed between the positive pole piece and the negative pole piece. The diaphragm is configured to space apart the application area of the positive pole piece from the application area of the negative pole piece. The positive pole piece, the diaphragm, and the negative pole piece are sequentially stacked and wound to form the cell body 22.

The tab 21 includes a positive pole tab and a negative pole tab. The end of the positive pole piece has a blank area not applied by the active substance of the positive pole, and a plurality of blank areas of the positive pole piece are connected together to form the positive pole tab of the electrode assembly 2.

Optionally, the material of the positive pole piece includes aluminum foil. The material of the negative pole piece includes copper foil.

Optionally, the active substance of the positive pole piece includes lithium cobaltate. The active substance of the negative pole piece includes silicon.

The cover plate assembly 3 is located at the open end of the housing 1 and covers the electrode assembly 2, so as to enclose the electrode assembly 2 within the housing 1. The cover plate assembly 3 includes an electrode terminal 31 and a cover plate 32. The electrode terminal 31 is provided on the cover plate 32. The cover plate 32 is configured to hermetically connect with the housing 1, so as to enclose the electrode assembly 2 within the housing 1.

As shown in FIG. 7 , the cover plate 32 is provided with two first holes 321 at intervals. The electrode terminal 31 includes a positive electrode terminal and a negative electrode terminal. The positive electrode terminal passes through one of the two first holes 321, and the negative electrode terminal passes through the other of the two first holes 321. The positive electrode terminal is conductive in correspondence with the positive pole tab, and the negative electrode terminal is conductive in correspondence with the negative pole tab.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the cover plate 32 is also provided with an explosion-proof valve 33. Optionally, the explosion-proof valve 33 is disposed between the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal.

Since a chemical substance, such as an electrolyte, is injected into the housing 1 of the battery cell, a large amount of mixed gas and liquid may be produced during the charging and discharging process, which causes that a pressure is continuously accumulated inside the housing 1 and it is extremely likely that explosion occurs. In the present disclosure, the cover plate 32 is provided with an explosion-proof valve 33. When there is an excessive internal pressure of the battery cell, the explosion-proof valve 33 is opened, so that the mixed gas and liquid produced by charging and discharging are rapidly discharged through the explosion-proof valve 33, thereby preventing explosion due to an excessive internal pressure of the battery cell.

Optionally, the cover plate 32 is configured to a flat plate shape.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7 , the cover plate assembly 3 further includes an insulating member 34, which is disposed between the cover plate 32 and the cell body 22, thereby preventing occurrence of short-circuit when the cover plate 32 is in contact with the cell body 22.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 , the connecting sheet 4 is connected between the tab 21 and the electrode terminal 31. The connecting sheet 4 is formed of a conductive material and configured to connect the conductive tab 21 with the electrode terminal 31.

The connecting sheet 4 includes a first connecting portion 41 and a second connecting portion 42. The first connecting portion 41 is connected to the tab 21, and the second connecting portion 42 is connected to the electrode terminal 31.

The second connecting portion 42 protrudes in a direction of close to the electrode terminal 31 relative to the first connecting portion 41, and the second connecting portion 42 is provided with a first groove 421 at one side proximate to the electrode assembly 2.

Optionally, the first connecting portion 41 is configured to a flat plate shape.

The first connecting portion 41 of the connecting sheet 4 is connected to the tab 21, and other parts of the connecting sheet 4 than the first connecting portion 41 is spaced apart from the cell body 22 by the insulating pallet 5, so as to prevent occurrence of short-circuit. The second connecting portion 42 of the connecting sheet 4 is connected to the electrode terminal 31.

Since the tab 21 includes a positive pole tab and a negative pole tab, and the electrode terminal 31 includes a positive electrode terminal and a negative electrode terminal, one connecting sheet 4 is provided between the positive electrode terminal and the positive pole tab so as to conduct the positive electrode terminal with the positive pole tab, and another connecting sheet 4 is provided between the negative electrode terminal and the negative pole tab so as to conduct the negative pole tab with the negative electrode terminal.

Some parts of the insulating pallet 5 are disposed between the cell body 22 and the connecting sheet 4. The insulating pallet 5 spaces the connecting sheet 4 apart from the cell body 22 so that the connecting sheet 4 is connected to the cell body 22 through the tab 21 rather than that the connecting sheet 4 is directly connected to the cell body 22, thereby avoiding short-circuit when the connecting sheet 4 is directly connected to the cell body 22.

Other parts of the insulating pallet 5 are located between the cover plate assembly 3 and the cell body 22, and configured to implement isolating the cover plate assembly 3 from the cell body 22, so that the cover plate assembly 3 is connected to the cell body 22 through the electrode terminal 31, the connecting sheet 4 and the tab 21, rather than that the cover plate assembly 3 is directly connected to the cell body 22, thereby avoiding short-circuit when the cover plate assembly 3 is directly connected to the cell body 22.

The insulation member 6 is disposed between the insulating pallet 5 and the second connecting portion 42 of the connecting sheet 4.

Since there is a need to use laser welding during the assembly process of the battery cell, impurities (e.g. metal chips) may be produced during the laser welding process. At the same time, during the assembly process, foreign impurities might also fall into the first groove 421 of the second connecting portion 42. When the battery cell vibrates, impurities on the second connecting portion 42 might fall into the electrode assembly 2, thus causing a short-circuit risk. Therefore, if the insulation member 6 is disposed between the insulating pallet 5 and the second connecting portion 42 of the connecting sheet 4, even if impurities of the second connecting portion 42 fall, they may also be caught by the insulation member 6, thereby avoiding short-circuit when impurities enter the electrode assembly 2, and improving the safety performance of the battery cell.

In a normal placement state of the battery cell, the insulation member 6 is pressed against the insulating pallet 5 due to a gravitational effect, and there might be a gap between the connecting sheet 4 and the insulation member 6. In order to prevent shaking or misplacement of the insulation member 6 due to vibration of the battery cell, and improve the positional stability of the insulation member 6, the insulating pallet 5 and the connecting sheet 4 both abut against the insulation member 6.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 , the insulating pallet 5 includes a body portion 51 and a carrying portion 52 connected to the body portion 51. The body portion 51 abuts with the cell body 22, and the carrying portion 52 protrudes in a direction of close to the second connecting portion 42 relative to the body portion 51. The insulation member 6 is disposed between the carrying portion 52 and the second connecting portion 42. Impurities falling from the second connecting portion 42 may be caught by the insulation member 6, thereby avoiding short-circuit when impurities enter the electrode assembly 2 and improving the safety performance of the battery cell.

Optionally, the body portion 51 is configured to a flat plate shape.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2 , the insulation member 6 covers the open end of the first groove 421. The carrying portion 52 and the first connecting portion 41 jointly limit the insulation member 6.

Optionally, both the carrying portion 52 and the first connecting portion 41 abut against the insulation member 6. Furthermore, an area where the first connecting portion 41 is connected to a circumferential side wall of the first groove 421 abuts against the insulation member 6.

In other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3 , the insulation member 6 is disposed within the first groove 421. The carrying portion 52 projects into the first groove 421, and the carrying portion 52 and the bottom of the first groove 421 jointly limit the insulation member 6.

Optionally, both the carrying portion 52 and the bottom of the first groove 421 abut against the insulation member 6.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 , the insulating pallet 5 further includes an insert portion 53, which is connected to a side of the body portion 51, and is farther to the cell body 22 than the body portion 51. At least a part of the tab 21 is located between the insert portion 53 and the cell body 22. The insert portion 53 is provided to prevent short-circuit when the tab 21 is inserted into the cell body 22.

Optionally, the insert portion 53 is connected to the body portion 51 through a transition section, and the surface of the insert portion 53 is parallel to that of the body portion 51. Furthermore, the surface of the insert portion 53, the surface of the body portion 51, and the surface of the carrying portion 52 are all parallel to each other.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6 , the insulating pallet 5 is further provided with a hook 54 extending in the direction towards the cover plate assembly 3.

Optionally, the hook 54 is disposed on the body portion 51 and located at an end portion of the insulating pallet 5. Since the body portion 51 is proximate to the cell body 22 relative to the carrying portion 52 and the insert portion 53, the body portion 51 is provided with a hook 54 extending towards the cover plate assembly 3, and the space between the body portion 51 of the insulation plate 5 and the cover plate assembly 3 is subtly utilized without increasing the thickness of the insulation plate 5, and it is also unnecessary to individually provide a connecting sheet to connect the insulating pallet 5 with the cover plate assembly 3, so that the structure is simple and the installation is convenient.

The insert portion 53 of the insulating pallet 5 isolates the tab 21 from the cell body 22 and is fixed to the cover plate assembly 3, so as to ensure that the tab 21 and the cell body 22 are sufficiently spaced apart, thereby preventing a short-circuit risk when the tab 21 is inserted into the cell body 22.

As shown in FIG. 4 , the insulating pallet 5 is also provided with a vent hole 55. The vent hole 55 is configured to expel the gas or liquid produced by the battery assembly 2, and also configured to inject an electrolyte into the battery assembly 2, and there is also a function of lessening the weight of the insulating pallet 5.
